Ghosts of Cité Soleil

NEW DOCS

The camera has been liberated. Each highly kinetic encounter recorded in this remarkable film is raw and immediate. We travel to the slums of Port-au-Prince, Haiti and inside the leadership of the Chimeres, a violent gang armed by a failing government desperate to hold on to power. Brothers Bily and 2pac navigate the horror of street warfare and find relative solace in the affection of the same woman, a French relief worker, Lele. As visually stunning as it is disturbing, Bily and 2pac’s desperate turns at survival will stay with you.  PB
